Uncanny, that Princeton had prepared me for an observation-dependent master’s in architecture just in time for general relativity’s origin-of-the-universe exemption per any “bottom-up” consideration of a single/definite history. By 1980, the idea that an episode of inflation had big-banged our eventual existence finally was embracing Princeton’s own Feynman-counter-to-Einstein, “top-down,” sum-over-histories without which our satiety of being would be hopelessly precluded by a boundless singularity. So, too, is the state of green design untenable were it not for the inflation of big-banged ideas of prior histories (of the Class of *78, for example, and the ideas I shared three years ago re “The ultimate fate of our universe” (posted at PAW Online, March 18, 2009). Congratulations, nonetheless, that Princeton’s evolution of observation – like cosmology’s grand design – renders no one history spacetime’s trump. And, more importantly, for Princeton’s part in brilliantly squaring our nurtured sustainability inversely symmetrical to any likelihood that there’s even any nature at all.
